I break out in a really painful rash that only allows me to wear non alloys. My daily wear wedding band is silicone as are the tunnels in my ear lobes. I do have a tungsten wedding band with Koa inlay that I wear when I need to be fancy but any type of stainless etc gives me fits

Maybe consider the Nerd watch

For most of my adult life I have worn either a cheap Mickey Mouse watch or a Timex Triathlon. I would wear a nylon band with the watch. About 15 years ago, someone - my sister maybe - convinced me it was time to get a "grownup" watch. I claim this may have been a conspiracy between my wife and my sister, but that is water under the bridge. It is a a Seiko Titanium.

I have been wearing it since. Due to some weight loss, it has had two (maybe three) links removed.

My first automatic watch was a Seiko orange monster my kids gave me as a gift, I wore that watch out. It got me started on the watch bug, and I’ve been through a few watches since. What I have presently is a G Shock pilot watch I wear to work most days, a Seiko Turtle on a super jubilee bracelet, and my dress watch is a Hamilton Jazzmaster Cushion on bracelet.

Bronze and copper really raise hell with my skin. Makes the rest of them look like a walk in the park

Maybe consider the nerd watch ... no metal

Maybe titanium or forged carbon then.

Swatch. Since the 80s, it's always been Swatch. YMMV.

Makes me think of disco lights and roller rinks.
